Can I evict my family members in Texas?

Under Texas law, you may not utilize “self-help" evictions to evict your family members. You cannot just physically remove them from the property. If there is a written lease, you can evict them for a breach of the lease as any other landlord could. If there is no written lease, you can evict them as a property owner would evict a squatter.

"Can I evict my family member?" This is
an interesting one. This would apply when
cousin Eddy didn't leave after Christmas,
or your son or daughter failed the launch,
and isn't getting a job. The answer
is, "Yes, you can evict them, most
likely." In order to evict your family
member, you need to give them proper
notice, just like any other eviction.
It can be a three-day or a 30-day notice,
depending on whether or not you
have a lease with your family member.
